Madonna seems to be making quite a few headlines these days. Whether she's rolling her eyes at hydrangeas or apologizing to the hydrangeas (not the person who was nice enough to give them to her), or creating a short silent film about hydrangeas -- new facets of her bitchiness continue to trickle out. So the saga of the pop diva continues as we get a look at what she's like behind closed doors.
The Material Girl was all smiles and compliments at the Toronto International Film Festival, which she attended on Monday to promote her new film W.E. Apparently one observer even heard her thank the festival's orange-shirted volunteers -- but when the doors were closed, the claws came out. Reports are stating that the pop-star-turned-movie-director made eight of those volunteers turn their faces to a wall so that they would not look at her as she made her way to her press conference about the film. The wrath of Madge has spoken, so all of them dutifully stood with their backs to the prima donna as she passed by.
At the Venice Film Festival earlier this month, the pop queen was reported saying, “I think once you become famous, you have to pretty much relinquish the idea that people are going to see you for who you are, or look beyond the surface of things." Not sure I really buy any of that since she herself seems to have a skewed view of who she is (you're a celebrity, not a deity incarnate). In previous appearances, Madonna has pointed out the similarities between herself and the Duchess, but I'd say she has more of a Marie Antoinette look about her. Let them eat cake!
